You must be truly a new member or a old pot stir-er under a new name. ;D last few years it has gotten ugly. :tipup:
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an  well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, A fishing pole in one hand, beer in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming \"WOO HOO, what a ride!

What else are we supposed to do while we are waiting for the ice to come.  Although up here in Alaska we might not have to wait too long.  The temp is 26* and the highs for the next few days is in the high 30's.  Hopefully it stays this way.

Obviously, the best flasher is the one in your hole marking fish.

Quantum: 

Hummingbird had a bad reputation for a number of years, but now that Minn-kota bought them, it seems like they are really making a comeback.  I've heard really good things about their new open water stuff.  Be interested to see what you think of that ice unit.  I've always been a Vexilar guy just because it seems like they have been at it the longest...but....

Hope Hummingbird gets it together. Put a new one on the Bass Boat 2 years ago, most expensive POS I've ever purchased, yet a pretty dash ornament.

Marcum or vexilar? I say what ever leaves more money in your pocket in the end. seen them both in action both mark fish the same to me. the only thang lacking on any of them is the beer holder! sure someone on here has already got one.

Vex does have a beer holder as an accessory

No batteries, no beer holder, no beepers, buzzers, motors or lights. Entirely brain operated. ;D

i agree with that.
There is only one theory about angling in which I have perfect confidence, and this is that the two words, least appropriate to any statement, about it, are the words "always" and "never."

I guess I have been useing a Marcum for a few years, I love it. I think the LX-5 is going to be my next one if this one ever wears out. The other ones might be ok but I have never had a problem with mine yet. I have the LX-3tc at the moment.
